About
Who We Are
Sherman Swim School was started by Bob Sherman in 1961
Since then, Sherman Swim School has taught over 39,000 students to swim and turned out numerous diving champions.
We are charter members of the United States Swim School Association in which Steve Sherman has served on the Board of Directors. Steve and Laurie Sherman took over the swim school in 1993, continuing a tradition of providing quality swimming and diving lessons in a positive environment.
We pick our staff with your children in mind. Our instructors enjoy working with children and receive extensive in-water training. We provide an ideal learning environment with our combination of one-on-one instruction, an uncrowded pool environment, patient, encouraging teachers, and comfortable warm water.

Our goal is not only to teach your child to swim but to build a strong foundation for a safe and happy swimmer.
We believe that private lessons are the best way to accommodate the individual needs of each student.

FAQ
Have Questions?
How do I request lessons?
Lessons may be requested by submitting a Swim Lesson Request Form. We schedule lessons by the season: spring, summer and fall. Within each season you may request one or more sessions. Please Note: A new request form will need to be submitted for each season. Our lesson structure is one day a week Monday through Thursdays, or twice a week based on availablity.
Do lessons become waitlisted?
We offer a small, quality lesson program with uncrowded pool space. Due to our one-to-one lesson structure, we have limited space available and at times, our lessons may become waitlisted. Submitting a lesson request will get you in line if we receive cancellations, or have additional lesson availability.
Do sessions automatically carry over?
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: Sessions do not automatically carry over. It is necessary to request each session you are interested in by the season.
Is there a sign up priority?
Initially, signup priority to those currently in the program. We are able to accommodate others if there are additional openings remaining, or when cancellations occur.
How will I be contacted if my child is assigned lessons?
You will receive a notification after submitting your request. When openings are available you will receive an email alerting you of lesson availability.
